Dealing With It- The Man

     Woman have you ever wondered why you don't understand the men in your life whether it is a son, husband, nephew or friend?  You find it difficult to understand the thought process of a man.  Well, maybe you have never thought about the satanic battle men face just because we  were born men. 
     This is a passage that I shared in the book, " A  Struggle Not Meant For a King" that was beneficial to my life and my parents understanding of what I was dealing with at the time.  The Lord showed my parents this and it was the beginning of a better relationship with them. 
     Whatever the men in your life are going through, before you give up totally on them, before you call and say something  negative related to their odd behavior or their bad decision making; consider this.

"Pharaoh...instructed the Hebrew midwives... to kill ...boys as soon as they were born."  Exodus 1:16
Let's pray for our men!

Ever since God told satan, " I will put enmity between thee and the woman...her seed..shall bruise thy head," (GEN 3:15), the enemy 's been hell-bent on destroying men in every possible way.  Males suffer more crib deaths, are more prone to heart attacks, and have shorter life spans.  It's no coincidence that when a country is under attack, its enemies go after the men.  By killing them, they destroy the stability of the family and ultimately the future of the nation.

Many grown men are still hurting and angry over things that happened in their childhood.  Now as fathers, they struggle to fulfill a role they never saw modeled in their lives. It stops them from connecting with their children and perpetuates the cycle of alienation from generation to generation.

Anytime satan sees potential, he'll try to abort it; he can't afford to wait till its fully developed.  In Exodus, Pharaoh told the Hebrew midwives, "When you see them on the birth stool, if it's a boy, kill him." (Ex 1:16 NRS).  This birth stool is the same word that's used to describe a potter's wheel.  So it's the process of becoming a man that the enemy wants to short- circuit!  If satan can destroy you while you're still on the wheel, he's accomplished his goal.  Once you're fully- grown and mature, it'll be harder to intimidate and destroy you.  SO pray for the men in your life!

  One key to understanding men is to understand the plot of satan that is against him.  satan wants to destroy the man so he can destroy the family.  Be alert and deal with It!

Dealing With It

     Do you really want to move forward this year?  Do you want to see a difference in your life this year?  Are you tired of being stagnant or are you content with the way things are?  No matter how you answered these questions, if you want to live you have to do something. If you want to live a life more abundantly which is what is promised to us from the scriptures, you have to deal with it.

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

    God has an expected end for all of us.  How do we get to that place where we are receiving what HE has promised us?  How do we experience the life that God has for us?  How do we move ourselves from need to want to satisfied in life and Christ?  Deal with It!
     Deal with the hurt.  Deal with your unforgiveness.  Deal with your attitude.  Deal with your lust.  Deal with your anger.  Deal with your discouraged heart.  Deal with your bad relationships. Deal with your jealousy.  Deal with your pride. Deal with your habits. Deal with your marriage.  Deal with your loneliness.  Deal with your insecurities.  Deal with your depression.  Deal with your relationships with your children. Deal with it.   God heard you the first time you prayed and is waiting on you so He can bless you.  The key is to get started!

" You don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be great."  Les Brown

     Some of us have more things to deal with.  Some of us are reaping the results of alot of bad decisions.  The point is to not become overwhelmed but to get started dealing with whatever stands in your way.  God revealed some things to me and HE allowed me to deal with them one by one.  There has been no pressure from God once He revealed things for me to change about myself.  I will admit I quit and gave up too many times to count but I have got back up each time.  Yes, I am still dealing but  now I'm dealing with God instead of hiding and acting like I have it together. Every time I get up, that's the Holy Ghost on the inside who will never allow you to fail.  He has never lost.  Jesus is our undefeated champion.  He is waiting on us to get in the game and start winning in life. We can't win until we deal.

1 Corinthians 15:57
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

      Your attitude might be the stepping stone to your promotion. If you never acknowledge you have a bad attitude, God can't help you have a good attitude so that you can receive the promotion you have prayed for.  I can guarantee it is not God that's the problem.  It is our unwillingness to change that blocks the blessing and keeps us stagnant and unproductive.  How do we move forward?  Deal with it! In essence, do your part and God will do his part. Deal with It!

Temporary Solutions for your Resolution!

     I was addicted to pornography and bound by lust and masturbation. As this new year approached,  I wanted to separate myself from this message because I wanted to be free to do what I wanted to do.  I wanted to be free to slip up and do a little porn.  I wanted to be free to go get and view adult materials.  I wanted to be free to sin when I felt like it was okay.  You see, I was addicted but something on the inside of me would not let me settle in sin.
    Something on the inside of me woke me up at 2:40 am this morning.  My plans were to copy and paste a message I read from another pastor that I thought would be great and very inspiring about new years resolutions. Nothing wrong with the message but it was not what I was suppose to do today. 
     I recently celebrated my 41st birthday.  Every birthday is a gift.  Everyday we live is an opportunity to share our gifts.  As Christians, we cannot separate from the call and gifts that God has given us.  That's what I wanted to do.  I wanted to escape from my assignment and my call because I wanted to do what "my flesh" wanted to do.  How selfish of me to only consider myself?
     Pornography is an addiction.  It is no different from drugs.  It will consume you and destroy your faith and relationship with God.  If you watch it once a week,  once a month, or once every three months, it is slowly calling you to sin to morally paralyze you.  I know personally,  because I was consumed in sin.    
     Christians think we can sin and because no one sees us it makes it okay. It does matter to God what we do.  It matters to HIM because we say all the time that God is our source but we settle for temporary solutions all the time without considering God. Pornography is a temporary solution that will lead you down a road of no self control.  The bible calls it lasciviousness.              
     Pornography's objective is to destroy your relationships and build false ungodly relationships and habits.  We say all the time that we trust God, "Why can't we trust God with our sex life?" God created sex!  The devil perverted sex.  Christians like to judge other "groups" but we do alot of sin ourselves.  Sin is sin in God's sight!
    This is the time to deal with it.  What is really going on with you?  What is really hindering you?  Who is really hurting and just want something to help take away the pain?  I have been there. Sex, pornography, lust, masturbation, are temporary solutions for your resolution. Someone is dealing with pain and emotional abuse, God sees you struggling! 
    This message is not just for you, it is for me.  I have to take heed and listen to the Spirit of God.  It's God's love that has exposed me.  It is God's love that has kept this message before me and is bringing it to you today.  HE knows my area of weakness and my temptations and HE knows yours.  You might not be dealing with fleshy sins like me.  You might be dealing with spiritual sins like bitterness and resentment, pride or lying.  Have you honestly ever taken the time to deal with your mess?  Temporary solutions for your resolution only mean more of the same resolutions next year. No better time than the present to start working on you.
1Peter 5:7-8
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."

There's a Party going on and Your Invited!

     It's Friday baby and we are about to throwdown!  Party over here.  Now, get your house cleaned up.  Shampoo the rugs, clean the windows and dust around the crown molding and make sure everything is in perfect condition.  This is going to be the party of the year!  Guess what, it's at your house and we are coming to party with you. Now, get ready.  Put on your red dress and high heels.  Fellas, get your Kenneth Cole shoes out and your best swagg because its going down old school at your house.  It's on!
     Did I tell you, "I'm coming to your party too!" I know I haven't seen or been with you for a while but  I am anticipating the next time I  am in your presence.  I mean I can't wait to party with you.  I am so excited  I have been telling all my homeys about you. I got my homeys so  excited they decided
to come with me too.  We crashing the whole weekend baby!!!!  Now just between me and you, my friends are a little rowdy but I promise it will be a party you will never forget.
     Man, I been thinking.  You haven't called me lately. In a matter of fact, I  heard about your party from someone talking about you.  I heard you got a new house.  Got a new attitude and stopped hanging with me. You kinda stopped socializing with me like you too good or something.  The more I think about it, you startin to piss me off. Yeah, that's what I said.  You trying to act all holy or something like you better than me.  I knew you when you was smoking blunts and drinking Forties.  You make me wanna come over to your house and slap the ___________ out of you.  That's right. That"s how I role.  Matter of fact, when I see you I'm going to hug you then body slamm you to the floor because you ain't about nothing. Piece of dog mess is more like it.  Now open the door, Big daddy home!

Matthew 12: 43-45
⁴³ “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. ⁴⁴ Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. ⁴⁵ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

    For every christian that gives their life to Christ, this is what satan wants to do to you.  He comes back looking to make things like they use to be. He is so angry you left him, he brings more demons with him to make sure it's harder for you to live a new life.  Every time satan comes to your house he wants to piss all over you.  He want show up and say I'm satan,  satan will send a old boyfriend or girlfriend that had you hooked on sex.  satan will come back with friends that you clubbed with and did drugs with.  satan will bring the family members who live to hate and tell you all the gossip. satan's goal is to help you, "Remember your time in sin."
     To answer the question from yesterday, it takes more than giving your life to Christ to win. satan does not want you to stay swept and clean as the scripture says. That's how we are when we become Christians. Swept and clean but that is not enough. Iniquities (generational sins passed down) run wild when things are just "swept and clean." To live victoriously as a christian, you have to study, renew your mind, walk in love, pray and stay in the process of change. You have to remember satan hates you. If  you are IN Christ, you are an enemy to the devil. Christians have to be honest and real about the sins we like and participate in with God so that we can find  help to resist the party in our honor.
    
     When satan is threw with you, he'll be pissing on your rug at your new house telling you,  "Clean it up and do it fast; I got more friends to invite to your party." It's your choice if you let him in your house. satan will only bring more friends(demons) to your party and take over. satan will never play fair. he will use your emotions, friends, family members or anything he can to keep you off guard and inattentive to the things of God.  There's a party going on and your invited!

I was told I was like this.

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
 1Corinthians 13:11

     Have you ever been told, you are just like your daddy or mother and you realize that they did not say that as a compliment?  Or have been told,  you ain't never going to be nothing!  Alot of us have been told so many bad things that after hearing them time after time we began to believe what people say about us. We begin to act like who they said we resemble and we justify our behavior by accepting what they said and nurture negative behavior as who we really are.
    All of us have been told something negative about ourselves by friends, family members or peers. My question is, "Did you believe them?" If you believed them, do you believe them now?
     Okay, I did believe some of the things I was told.  I did do some of the things they said I would do but I grew up and my thought process changed. The scripture today speaks of maturing.  It encourages us to not be  in the same mindset we were as children. Not  anything deep this morning just a simple truth.  Growing up is good but growing into the nature of Christ is better.
     When we are born into the family of God by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we inherit the Nature and likeness of Christ.
 When we are born into this world, (your birthday) we inherited the nature of satan because of the fall of Adam and Eve. It is up to us to nourish the Nature of Christ or nurture the nature of satan.

⁵ Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me. Psalm 51:5

      We have a choice. You don't have to be like your daddy or mother unless you want too.  We are free moral agents. WE HAVE A CHOICE.  Sometimes its difficult to overcome this because we are like our parents.   Iniquities (generational sins passed down)  in some cases have never been  dealt with.  Have you ever seen a family where all the girls get pregnant out of wedlock?  Have you ever seen a family where all the men are whores?  Have you ever seen a family where all the men have lives in and out of jail?  Have you seen a family where everybody had or has substance abuse issues? These are examples of sin iniquities that run wild in our family history.
     Good news!  If you are born again, iniquities don't have to rule you or your seed.  The blood of Jesus redeemed you from the curse of the law. (Galatians 3:13)  Jesus did everything for you to walk in victory over sin, sins stronghold, iniquities or whatever that may have you bound.  The question is, "Is being born again enough to walk free from sin and iniquities and stay free?"  I'll answer that question tomorrow.  Stay Tuned!

Warning: God has detected a virus.

"Love suffers long and is kind, does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek it's own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

**********************High Priority Email***********************
*************Warning: God has detected a Virus*******************
****Attention all Christians. This is an important message from The ECN (Emergency Christian Network) It has been brought to our attention that Christians are being attacked with a harmful and in some cases deadly virus.  It attacks the heart and is a silent killer. Please be advised****

     Wouldn't it be great if we received messages or warnings every time we walked out of love with someone?  We'll I guess it depends on what kind of day we were having.  Believe me this is a #1 enemy of the state.  How easy is it to get offended?  How easy is it to retaliate and let them have it? How many of us operate in this kind of love that is mentioned in the scriptures today.  Love is the activator of our faith.  It is the common denominator of everything involving Christianity. The question remains, Is walking in love  a challenge for most Christians?  I believe so.
    The first thing a doctor will do once a virus has been detected is identify  where the virus is located. Once identified, the doctor can diagnose it and study the effects of the virus. When the diagnostics is complete, the doctor will try to isolate the virus so it can't spread any further.  He will  identify an antidote to nullify it attacks or stop it from ever spreading again.  In most cases, doctors and scientist develop antidotes to immune us from spreading the virus and to keep us from becoming victim to the affects of the virus. Warning: God has detected a virus. A spiritual virus.
    Well, the virus has been located.  In the hearts of many Christians, it has been identified by its overwhelming mark found in the homes of many Christians by signs of:cussing, yelling, door slamming and name calling. All are strong parameters to measure the virus is present. There also has been enough scientific evidence that shows that the virus starts with one person but soon affects the entire family.  Just like a virus that travels through the bloodstream; bitterness, resentment, anger, and calamity travel from one family member to another. It can consume all that come in contact. A spiritual  virus will hinder prayers from being answered or heard. Healings can be delayed, angels stopped from operating on our behalf  and block our access to heaven and God.  Sin separates us from God.  If I operate my life like this, I give satan permission to come in and out my life at his will.
     Some situations are more difficult to overcome and let go.  Some people are hurting by events and loved ones who wronged them.  Some of us have just been dogged out. How do I truly move forward when I hurt everyday? How do I control my anger when all I do is want to curse?  How do I forgive someone and not be bitter when they abused my love and took advantage of my trust?  How?  The answer, "only by faith."

     “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25

     "I look at it like this, when and if I mess up, I need to be forgiven.  Bubba or whoever is not worth me not being forgiven."


     When you have been hurt you have a right to be mad. You have a right to be angry.  The bible says, "Be ye angry and sin not." Ephesians 4:26 It's okay to be angry but I can't hold on to it.  I can get mad but I have to let it go.  These are normal emotions that God gave all of us.  To ignore these God given emotions would be like saying we are not human. These emotions however, were never meant to lead and guide our decisions and lives like they do.  Now who do you think is using emotions as an excuse to keep you messed up. #could it be satan
     Anger is an emotion not a license to cut the fool. Your emotions were given to us by God to let us know if we have been treated fairly or to alert us of things that are not always right but we were never created to be emotionally ruled.
  God has provided a vaccine that cures all that are affected.  All we need to do is take our daily dose of our prescribed medicine (the Word of God).  That means sometimes I will have to shut my mouth and not get the last word in. I can't hold grudges against people that have hurt my feelings. I don't have to like them but I can't allow myself to harbor bad feelings in my heart. It destroys only you a little at a time.
    If you are a Christian, not walking in love is deadly.  satans goal is to kill, steal and destroy but Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly.  We can ignore the warnings and continue to live like we do or take heed because God has detected a virus and HE is sending you the antidote today.  Take your medicine saints

Change is a Process not an event.

Romans 12:2
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

    My destiny is affected by my character.  My character is influenced by my habits.  My habits are influenced by my actions.  My actions are a direct result of my decisions.  My decisions are a result of my thinking.
   
     Lustful thoughts come to my mind all the time.  I am 40 years of age and I still have lustful thoughts.  Some of us don't want to admit to having problems with lust.  Lust is an unquenchable desire for the forbidden. Lust is an intense appetite based in selfishness to fulfill wrong thinking. It has been the most challenging sin for me to overcome because I enjoyed it so much.  Let's think about it.  I could lust and no one know about it.  I can lust for someone and they not know it.  I can lust for  someone or something that does not belong to me and no one ever knows but God.  As much as I don't like this, God always knows your hearts desire.  HE knows.  You have not fooled HIM.  God knows you are lusting. 
   Wow!  I'm going to be honest with you.  I had no idea I would be talking about lust with you. The Lord directed me to talk about this subject.  If HE is dealing with me, some of you are dealing with lust.  The danger of lust is; if you continue to meditate on the lustful thoughts, you soon will act on it.  When you act, it will become a habit.  My habits become my character and my character influences my destiny.  Yes, I know a little something about it because I was bound and in a never ending spiraling cycle of repetitive sin.  The difference today is that it is my past and not my now.  Praise God!!!  I changed.

     Change is a process.  Change is necessary for growth and personal development. So Clarence, after years of struggling with this sin, how did you change?  The truth is I changed but I did not change me, I was transformed by the Word of God and made whole in Christ Jesus.  Now that's the truth but it was a process that I even continue in today.  My flesh is my flesh and sometimes I still want to party like its 1999.  I want to relive my whorish days and have multiple sexual encounters.  Yes my flesh is a fool.  I don't trust my flesh.  I know what it (my flesh) can do.  So why would I play with it?  The difference is now I feed my spirit which is of God and like God with the Word of God in the areas that need to be changed.  I got honest with God and HE helped me change.
    Let's be real for a moment.  I was prayed for by elders of the church and I still sinned.  I had hands laid on me and still fornicated.  I was prophesied to be healed and delivered and I still watched pornography.  What's going to break the cycle? Its the Word of God and you being honest about your problems and HE will lead you out of that pit you are in.  It is a pit that satan has created for you because you yield to sin everyday and don't resist satan's attack.  Those lustful thoughts are attacks from satan to keep you in bondage. satan wants you to believe that you are the product of your habits and that you will never be able to overcome  those habits. God has called me today to tell you that the devil is a liar and you are not the sin that you do. You are HIS child and you have been called to holiness and righteousness in Christ Jesus and nothing is to hard for HIM.  Nothing!
    Now the practical side of this.   If you really want to be free. You have to get scriptures and tapes and books that will help you renew your mind.  That is exactly what the scripture is telling us.  Don't conform to this world but be renewed in your thinking.   How do you change your thinking?  Think something else. That something else is the Word of God.  The Word of God is powerful!

      "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."Hebrews 4:12

    This is God speaking through me today.  Don't settle in your sin and expect no victory to overcome it. Like Pastor Benny Hinn says, "Today is your day!"  You can do it!  You can win over sin!  You can make your life better! I did and God is no respecter of persons.
     Change is a process.  Change is not an event.  Its what you do everyday to work on yourself that draws you closer to God.  The key is once you take your eyes off of your problems, your sins, your bad habits and focus on God; you begin to think and talk like God and  you start acting like God. HE is Victorious in Everything!  Our God is the changer!  Our God is the healer! Our God is the deliverer!  Our God! Our God ! Our God!  Be Blessed!
